We absolutely loved the hotel and the ambience, especially how it's blended into the nature. It's lovely to see the monkeys, birds, lizards running around. We took the safari the hotel arranged and it was amazing. However, the dinner buffet was disappointing and overpriced. For the second evening we had to drive out for 30 minutes to the nearby town Tissa to eat out. The service is lacking and it's not 5-star hotel standard. The staff were more friendly to the locals than foreigners. We felt slight judgement from them too. They weren't keen to offer help or service. We had to ask and keep asking. Although for what we asked we got the service needed. Overall we are happy with the stay.

Overall good with so much potential
The place is so lovely with a very nice pool and beach access. So much potential and so near the safari. However, I had some mishaps which might be isolated to me. The porters accidentally broke my Samsonite luggage handle, no towels in the room and called for ice twice but wasn't sent. Other than these, I would recommend them highly. Oh yes, toilet smelt slightly mouldy.

Room was comfortable, however the bathrooms were not air conditioned as they were open to the air, which made them quite hot during the day. Food selection was reasonable and the chef was nice and very careful to accommodate my spouse’s dietary restrictions (food allergy). Staff was professional and very nice, which was our experience across all resorts in Sri Lanka. Amazing service by super nice people!

Wow!!! One of the best hotels ever. Staff are so friendly, kind and attentive. The food is out of this world. The chef at Jetwing Yala is such a wonderful person. My family are all in agreement- this is the best hotel.

4/10 Fair

This was the fourth hotel I stayed in in Sri Lanka, and unfortunately was a let down in a number of respects. My initial impression was positive as the property is large, (seemed) peaceful and has lovely views. While being checked into my room I was a bit surprised about being asked if I needed to know how to use the facilities in the room. Of course I would! The air con had no remote control and was hidden in the corner and I wouldn’t have found the controller had I not asked. The woman showing me in seemed sullen and miserable. Again, initial impressions of the room were quite good - very large and spacious with a ginormous bathroom. After that I noticed a few minor inconveniences - hardly any plug sockets, room safe didn’t work and the bedding was really uncomfortable. The sheet was too small for the bed and was fitted over a slippery mattress protector. Later that night I found myself slipping and sliding around a lot, which contributed in part to two very bad nights’ sleep. First morning I woke early to go on safari and the packed breakfast was adequate although the bread was stale and I couldn’t eat most of what was in the box as it had cakes/croissants etc. and I can’t eat anything containing dairy. After the safari I went to the pool. Very quiet and peaceful but hard to relax as there are little shaded areas and the loungers don’t have cushions and so are really uncomfortable. I was going to order a drink but asked for the menu and asked for about ten minutes to cons

Incredible Experience
Truly one of the best days of my life was at this hotel. The location and views are a dream and the buffet breakfast was one of the best meals I had in Sri Lanka. I spent the day at the pool, in the spa, drinking a mojito on the beach front, and enjoying the views. They helped me arrange a safari to Yala which was wonderful. A must stay on any trip to Sri Lanka! The only downside was the dirt road leading to the hotel is in really banged up condition so was a bit hard on the car that dropped me off, but I was told the hotel is on a national park land so it can't be paved. So not really their fault.

Pleasantly surprised - Wonderful hotel
Pleasantly surprised to have this experience at a Hotel that is situated 10 minutes away from a Wildlife park. The hotel is in very good condition, large rooms with modern amenities and spacious washrooms (Loved the waterfall pipe). Food quality was amazing and we got all the usuals for a hearty breakfast. The beach is lovely, the pool is well maintained and the staff are immaculate. Gym and Spa are well maintained. Lots of activities for kids. The Turtle hatchery they've got on the beach was a definite plus to our experience. And all the wildlife, very safe, but so much to see.

Amazing hotel for wildlife and rela
Amazing hotel. Loved everything about it. Staff were super nice. Wildlife was great - we saw capuchin monkeys, wild pigs, elephans just on the hotel premises. Pool and private beach made it even more perfect. The only bad thing is was the very slow service in the restaurant during dinner time. Other than that the hotel is 10/10.
